What is Montana's stance on 'Stand Your Ground' law?

  1. It has a complete 'Stand Your Ground' law

  2. It does not have a 'Stand Your Ground' law

  3. It applies only in one’s home

  4. It requires retreat outside one’s home

The correct answer is: It has a complete 'Stand Your Ground' law

Montana has a complete 'Stand Your Ground' law, which allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, in self-defense without the duty to retreat when they are in a place where they have a right to be. This law recognizes that individuals have the right to protect themselves from threats or harm without needing to first try to escape or retreat from the situation, provided that they are not engaged in unlawful activity themselves. This reflects a broader perspective on self-defense laws, emphasizing personal autonomy and the right to defend oneself in a variety of situations. The other options present varying interpretations of self-defense laws that do not align with the full extent of Montana's current legal framework on this issue.
